at Home and Abroad.” During this presentation, our speakers will explore the
role of human rights law in the U.S. and globally.

Karla Torres, Human Rights Legal Fellow at the Center for
Reproductive Rights, will present the groundbreaking Nuestro Texas Campaign[1],
which shines the spotlight on the lack of access to reproductive health care in
the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. She will describe this innovative work
which culminated in a human rights report titled, “Nuestro
Voz, Nuestra Salud, Nuestro Texas[2],” and the recent Human Rights Hearing
that took place in recognition of International Women’s Day.

Jina Dhillon, Policy Advisor at Ipas, will present on
utilizing international and regional human rights reporting mechanisms as a
strategy to hold governments accountable for access to safe abortion services
as a human right. She will focus on human rights accountability in the Africa
region under international human rights instruments as well as under the
Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights on the Rights of
Women in Africa.
